Collective Massive Enhancement

A very large villa in the central area of Land of Hot Water.

Karin leaned back in her recliner, her bare, white feet drinking sweet juice, leisurely basking in the sun, lazily enjoying a sunbath.

Beside her.

The Nine-Tails and Samehada, both as fat as pigs, lay on the grass, leisurely basking in the sun, while silently protecting Karin, the nominal supreme ruler of this country.

In the farthest corner, the Giant Black Bear huddled in the grass of the yard, not daring to get too close to the Nine-Tails.

There was no way around it; the difference in their levels was too great. Whenever the Giant Black Bear was near the Nine- Nine-Tails, it instinctively felt fear and could only hide at a distance, trembling with fear and not daring to move rashly.

This timid state only made the Nine-Tails more disdainful, and it arrogantly turned its head to the side, not even bothering to look at the Giant Black Bear.

But just then...

As if sensing something, the Nine-Tails suddenly raised its head, stood up with a look of fear on its face, and then respectfully lowered its head again.

Samehada, standing beside it, quickly bent its body into a respectful posture.

Only the Giant Black Bear was clueless, not understanding what was going on. It was even wondering what the Nine-Tails was doing and why it had suddenly become so cowardly.

But at this moment...

The space rippled slightly, spreading outwards like water ripples, and soon Naruto, arm in arm with Hinata, emerged from the void.

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the figure, the Giant Black Bear was startled, then, like a dog, it stuck out its tongue and scrambled down, displaying a fawning attitude like a lapdog.

"Teacher Naruto."

Karin also saw Naruto. Her body sprang up from the recliner like a spring, her bare feet touching the ground as she looked at Naruto with surprise.

During this time, she handled many things for Naruto and finally gained Naruto recognition, being able to call him Naruto -Teacher Naruto, which can be considered an acknowledgment of her contributions.

Don't underestimate this title. No one else has the right to call Naruto that, because it represents one of their own. It means that if anyone bullies Karin, they will inevitably incur Naruto's wrath.

So.

Karin has been overjoyed ever since she was given this nickname, and she couldn't wait to circle around Naruto a few times to express her happiness.

"Hmm, how have you been lately? Has anything happened in the Land of Hot Water?" Naruto asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing serious, it's just that spies and the like keep showing up, which is really annoying," Karin explained, blinking her big eyes.

"They're just a bunch of rats, ignore them," Naruto said calmly.

"Yes, Teacher is right, those people are indeed rats." Karin nodded obediently, then invited Naruto and the others into the villa.

"Wait a minute, the black bear is coming." Naruto turned his head to look at the Giant Black Bear in the distance.

Despite its enormous size, this black bear is useless except for its voracious appetite. Even a Genin could defeat it, making it a truly pathetic beast.

However, this Giant Black Bear had been with Naruto for a long time. After all, it was the first wild creature he had ever tamed, so even if it wasn't Ninja Beast, he still had to take care of it.

So Naruto plans to strengthen the Giant Black Bear, giving it some power, though the exact level it will reach will depend on its luck.

Hoo hoo!

The big black bear was still afraid of Naruto. Hearing Naruto's words, it cautiously approached, then lay down on him, covering its eyes with its paws, not daring to look at Naruto.

"What a stupid bear."

Looking at the Giant Black Bear that didn't resemble a bear at all, Naruto raised his right hand and placed it directly on the Giant Black Bear's head, instantly unleashing a surge of enhanced power.

Buzz!

A strange sound rang out, and a seven-colored light began to shine.

The Giant Black Bear, which was originally just a wild beast and had not yet reached the level of Ninja Beast, suddenly advanced to the level of Ninja Beast under the seven-colored light, which made the Giant Black Bear immediately open its eyes.

But this was not the end, for the Seven-Colored Radiance continued to shine.

As the light shone, the Giant Black Bear's aura gradually grew stronger, eventually becoming something even Samehada needed to take seriously.

Moreover, as time went on, the usually nonchalant fat Nine-Tails fox began to look serious, staring intently at the increasingly terrifying Giant Black Bear.

"Such a powerful aura, what kind of aura is this?" Karin stared at the scene, her eyes wide with shock.

Bang!

A dull thud echoed, and the dog-like Giant Black Bear swelled up considerably in size.

Roar!!

A deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and terrifying sound waves swept across all directions with a powerful shockwave. In an instant, a terrifying aura, like that of Tailed Beast, permeated the Land of Hot Water, enveloping a vast area.

Under such an atmosphere, the spies who were investigating intelligence in the Land of Hot Water were all terrified, their faces changing drastically as they looked in the direction of the villa, wondering what had happened.

Roar!

The roar resounded again, even more terrifying than before, but it abruptly stopped halfway through.

"Shut up, get out of here!" Naruto kicked the Giant Black Bear over and said.

"Awooo!"

The Giant Black Bear nodded its head hastily. Under the powerful aura, it shrank back and rolled on the ground, then squatted down a short distance away, no longer daring to shout, as cowardly as a mouse.

Nine-Tailed Nine-Tails, witnessing this scene, was speechless. It felt that this black bear, whose aura it valued so much, was acting like a bear in a cowardly manner.

But.

Nine-Tails was also very curious about the mysterious Seven-Colored Radiance that Naruto used.

Considering that he had followed Naruto for so long, he figured he should at least get some benefits in return, right?

So Nine-Tails wriggled its massive body and stepped closer to Naruto, gazing at him hopefully.

"Let's go back to the villa."

Naruto put his arm around Hinata's slender waist and walked straight toward the villa, leaving Nine-Tails) bewildered in the wind.

"Teacher Naruto, what was that just now?"

Inside the living room.

Karin looked at Naruto with curiosity. She was also very curious about the seven-colored light, after all, she felt that the aura of the Giant Black Bear was very terrifying. Even if it was not as powerful as the Nine-Tails, it should not be underestimated.

After she asked her question, Nine-Tails and Samehada, who had returned to the living room, also fell silent. Even the Giant Black Bear outside the window peeked into the living room.

"What? You want to gain power too?"

Naruto didn't explain what kind of ability it was, but instead looked at Karin with a smile.

"Yes, teacher. Can you give me strength?" Karin looked at Naruto expectantly.

"If you want to gain strength, then please my little Hinata. As long as she allows it, I will grant you strength," Naruto said, pinching Hinata's cheek.

"Hinata- neechan, can you give me your strength?"

Karin and Hinata already had a good relationship, and now she went straight to Hinata's side, grabbed her hand, and looked at her pitifully.

"Ah, this... I..."

Hinata looked at Naruto somewhat nervously upon hearing this, "Naruto- nii-san, you... you decide, I'll do whatever you say."

Hinata finished speaking, she held Naruto's hand tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness.

"You, fine, I'll strengthen you then. Nine-Tails, come here too."

Naruto beckoned and began to strengthen Karin and Nine-Tails. Karin was naturally strengthened more, but Nine-Tails was strengthened slightly less.

After all, its credibility is not high enough at present. As for Samehada, Naruto never thought of strengthening it. It is a traitor and will never get Naruto's strengthening.

Once the enhancement was complete, Naruto didn't give them time to investigate his condition and immediately began to expel them.

"You can go now, Hinata and I need to rest."

Naruto discovered the indoor hot spring pool inside the villa and wondered if he and Hinata should enjoy a hot spring bath together, so he started to shoo them away.

"Okay, Teacher Naruto, you all get some rest."

Karin quickly bowed, then left with the Tailed Beast Gate and headed to the neighboring villa number 2. However, she was very curious about what Naruto wanted to do, so she secretly activated Mind's Eye of the Kagura.

But at that moment, the space rippled slightly, a hand reached out from the void, and flicked Karin on the head.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Naruto, I know I was wrong," Karin said pitifully.

"I'll deal with you later." Naruto's voice echoed from the void, then vanished.

Karin was left behind, secretly stuck out her little tongue, touched her face somewhat shyly, and then began to examine her own situation and newly acquired strength.

As for the Nine-Tails, it was already staring wide-eyed, sensing the strange changes within itself.
